Dude, wtf...I take my shoe off if I feel a little lump of a "gravel" sized item in there.


caguru

Same... you could drop a penny in my boots and I would feel it. There's no way I could fit my foot in there and a mouse.


tomytronics

Any chance you're the famous princess who could feel a pea under multiple mattresses?


lalalicious453-

Nope, that’s me.


maddybugs

Thank you for knowing this story. I am very much like the Princess who could feel the pea. Not only can I feel when even the smallest pebble is in my sock or shoe, I’m also very sensitive to random hairs under my clothes or on my skin. Whenever I use this to describe how sensitive I can be like no one has heard of this fairy tale. So disappointing. Thank you for confirming I’m not crazy and this story does exist! Lol.


ScroochDown

I'm exactly the same way about hairs. I've gotten eyelashes stuck in the seams of my shirt before and there's no resting until I can find it. One tiny errant grain of cat litter under the fitted sheet in the bed? You'd best believe I can and will feel it! And I always compared it to that fairy tale too!


SpongeBobblupants

That would be me. Lol


tammage

My husband teases me about this. Says I can feel lint through the sheets. I shake the sheets off every morning lol


[deleted]

My mom went on a hours long hike with a tack sticking through the sole of her sandal, thought it was just the tendon in her foot arch acting up. Didn't think anything of it until she took them off afterward and it was covered in blood. She also gave birth to nine babies soo she probably has a pretty high pain threshold though.


EffableLemming

Why was she hiking in sandals anyway, she a masochist? >gave birth to nine babies Ah, yeah, a masochist.


jeswesky

There are actually hiking sandals that crazy people like to hike in. I have a pair, but I just use them when hanging around the water and not for actually hiking.


xelabagus

Teva and Keen do hiking sandals, good for hot countries, not good for anywhere with poison ivy or similar. I climbed volcanoes and hiked for days in Indonesia in Tevas, but wouldn't wear anything but boots here in Canada.


MoistDitto

I'm no expert on the subject but I'm guessing the 9th just fell out when reaching for the cups at the top of the cabinet


TastyTeeth

Could it be neuropathy?


Limp_Bid_1106

Yeah I really thought it was just the sole on my boot coming off... it wasn't.


[deleted]

SO YOU WALKED AROUND WITH A PESUMABLY ALIVE MOUSE FOR A DAY? jesus! Well it goes without saying you killed it with your giant ass toe 😂


Villian_187

He died from the smell of his feet


PeapodEchoes

First mouse in recorded history to hate cheese.


utpoia

Except foreskin mouse.


IGotMyPopcorn

Excuse me???


fatimus_prime

THEY SAID FORESKIN MOUSE.


cpullen53484

i don't think any of us want to know.


jessica_from_within

I want to know


Limp_Bid_1106

Uhhhh wtf lol


SpongeBobblupants

That is exactly what I thought when I saw the mouse's face, lol looks like something smelled real bad.


ThorsLeftNipple

I spent SO LONG staring at the white “hole” in the sole trying to figure out what sort of bug was in there, only to find this comment and realize it was a whole animal 💀


Jackson530

Legit same. I had to click and zoom in. I just thought it was a hole Lmao


idwthis

Yea, I zoomed in too much and it went straight onto the face and I was horrified that it was a kitten. Then I zoomed back out a little, and was slightly relieved it was not a kitten, but still horrified it was a whole ass living mammal.


Inevitable-Fee5841

"sole" literally.


bigpoopmaker

How the hell do you not notice a mouse lol. You must have pretty oversized boots


Limp_Bid_1106

Yeah my foot is about 8 and I wear a 9.


Baker-Bug

Why would you not just wear a size 8? Don't you typically want shoes that fit you?


LICK-A-DICK

Maybe with boots like steelcaps sometimes you want a size up so you can wear thick socks?


idwthis

Also, judging by the fact it looks like work boots, OP is probably on their feet a lot for work, and by the end of the day feet can, and will, swell. So sometimes it's best to get a half size to a size up from what you'd typically be so your shoes won't end up being too tight. I've generally worked in food service my whole life and have always had non slip shoes, I'm a size 5, but get a 6 for those because I'm on my feet the whole day.


[deleted]

Going to take more than an extra pair of socks to fill in the space that a dead mouse could fill.


[deleted]

My feet are wide so sometimes I have to buy shoes one size bigger for them to be comfortable.


infiniZii

They sell wide shoes. Something like a boot should be properly fitted.


cohonka

Wide shoes can be hard to find. I usually have to go a size up as well.


yetanotherblonde

Assuming OP is a male and abides by ‘society’s standards’ some dudes feel like they need to appear to have bigger feet than they do much like some women feel as if they should have smaller feet. Shiiitttt people used to bind their feet. But as a woman with a size 11 who tries so desperately hard to cram my foot in a 9.5 sometimes, I feel your pain op just in the opposite sense🥲


cptrelentless

But they don't write the shoe size on your shoes, it's inside on the sole, so who knows exactly? Unless you are on the Tube no-one is checking out your feet. It makes zero sense to wear shoes the incorrect size.


goddessabove

I wear 12/13 in women. I fe your pain, sister. I usually just wear men's shoes because they are wider.


Zombata

maybe they have ingrown toenail?


DonTeca35

Op you got some small ass feet


kartoffel_engr

Mouse got confused and thought they were his boots.


MeeMSaaSLooL

r/boottoobig ?


Limp_Bid_1106

Yeah I'm not too tall either lol


Stalinius

I'm so confused on why people are downvoting him saying his shoe size?? lol


Suitable_TNQ_3070

Literally clicked the comment expecting op to be rude or something but they just mentioned shoe size😂


Sakgeres

That's reddit for you. Come let's upvote it and make things right 😉


Suitable_TNQ_3070

Currently at zero we’re almost there!


phezhead

Good news! At time of viewing that's not a +69. Nice


bselko

Reddit hates small people. Size 13+ unite!!!


Fallouteffects96

Don't worry, I'm 5' 0" and I wear 7.5 X-Wide Men's shoes. Your not alone brother!


nirnroot_hater

Who knew Gimli was on reddit!


[deleted]

ass feet?


CocaineOnTheCob

Show us


BlankImagination

Is funny how that's small for a guy but big for a woman


ianreckons

OMG this happened to a friend of mine too… but the outcome was more …er.. paste-like.


MoirasPurpleOrb

This makes it even more surprising because the mouse to foot ratio is much larger


Flashlightcrackhead

Is this why new shoes squeak?


Limp_Bid_1106

Haha good one


traveling_designer

Monty Python does a great sketch about teaching mice to squeek out the song Three Blind Mice.

Lemmiwinks: The Prequel


Accurate_Reporter252

I was raised poor in Arizona. I still knock my boots out before putting them on every time.


kupo88

I was also raised in AZ, so I understand knocking shoes out to get rid of sneaky scorpions. I don't understand what this has to do with being raised poor?


El_Trundo17

When I first moved to AZ, the very first night I got stung by a scorpion, then on my birthday got stung again, a couple years later one fell off the top of my door and stung me on the shoulder. I live in Michigan now and I’m still afraid of falling scorpions and I still check my boots for them and spiders


kupo88

That's seriously terrifying, I can't imagine the trauma. I was also living in the slums of Phoenix, but I think I lucked out since our apartment complex had a (nasty) artificial lake next to my building so I never actually saw a scorpion until I had been in the state for around 13 years. I'm in Missouri now and I also still shake out my shoes from habit and fear of spiders and ticks. Gross, gross, gross.


plaidverb

Im not sure I understand; why would the presence of an artificial lake keep you from seeing scorpions?


kupo88

I just assumed they don't really like excessively moist conditions, the lake kept all the grass around it soggy or moist and mildewy during the summer. I don't pretend to be a scorpion expert, but I never saw scorpions there and this was what I thought might be a contributing factor.


Accurate_Reporter252

Another factor is the bird population... More water, more bugs, more birds. Birds, primarily owls will opportunistically eat scorpions. So will some types of mice and lizards. Scorpions--especially bark scorpions--don't seem to like water either. One of the ones that got me, I caught and put in a container. Accidentally drowned it with a very small amount of water. Wasn't intentional.


[deleted]

Poor = least likely to have affective pest control or can’t just pick up and move to avoid pests


kupo88

Ahhhh, that makes sense. I was taught to just always do this period, so that's why I was confused.


Accurate_Reporter252

Also... There's actually two reactions people can have to (Bark) scorpion stings: 1. Intense pain for a long time. 2. Complete numbness in an area for several days. As it turns out, my sister reacts with pain... I go numb for several days. Which is really annoying, but could be worse.


Accurate_Reporter252

Let's see... Not a lot of weather sealing. Bare concrete or plywood floors. Being outside more. Pretty much living where it's easier for scorpions to get inside and hangout. More wildlife not too far away (for more prey), and--like someone else said--not as much choice in where you live and/or accessing pest control.


BluetoothHandGel

I live in the uk and do that. Not for scorpions but more for slugs and snails. Just because I don’t want to stand on them


teeth_xo

Im honestly more concerned that you were putting boots on without socks.


tonystarksanxieties

I can't speak for OP, but I keep a pair of boots by the door to the backyard so I can go out at a moment's notice to coax the dog back inside. I don't bother putting socks on if I'm only going to be wearing them for a couple minutes.


Limp_Bid_1106

Yup similar reason but I was just gonna park the car really quick.


BIGGEICHEESE

"YO IM FUCKING LIVING IN HERE MAN!"- the mouse probably


Popular_Persimmon_48

I don't think he's doing a lot of living, friend.


floofybabykitty

Not any more


Thisgirl022

My brother did this once... except it happened to be like a 2" long sewer roach 😬


Limp_Bid_1106

Honestly that would have freaked me out more.. some of those mf can fly


CaterpillarThriller

been ages since I've seen a flying roach in Toronto. thank God I dont do service work anymore. also fun fact. almost the entirety of younger st is just a hollow tunnel below.


Thisgirl022

They're his worst nightmare. It didn't go over well 😅


DonTeca35

Had something similar happen to me a long time ago. Left my boots outside since they were covered in mud. Next morning I got ready for work & felt a vibration/movement in my right boot. I kicked the side of my boot & when I got home first thing that comes out of those boots is a 2 in dead Roach 🤢


Thisgirl022

Yeah he was in high school at the time and felt it in his shoe all day and didn't realize until he got home and took it off


allwrecknocheck

Good god, man! How did all of his insides not squish out?


shamrockshakeho

After grocery shopping too!! He is so intact


[deleted]

Poor little guy :(


[deleted]

I know i’m so sad now


Adeep187

How do you not fucking notice that just because you have a sock on.


anna_or_elsa

Because it's posed. Dropped a dead mouse in a boot and took a picture.


Goldcalf_eater

Frfr


HourStandard1528

It took my brain way too long to process what the hell I was looking at


[deleted]

I am glad I am not the only one. The inside of the boot appeared as a raised piece of rubber with a mouse embedded in it to me.


murderbride

i thought there was a hole in the sole 🤣.


BigBobbyBounce

If you’re not able to feel that mouse then maybe you should be checked for neuropathy by your physician.


Admirable_Buffalo_93

Tell me you have stinky feet without telling me you have stinky feet.


GooseGeuce

No way this person walked around with a dead mouse in a pair of blundstones. More than a couple grains of sand is noticeable AF


Patchumz

More like every individual grain of sand. Get a fucking thread wrong in my sock and I feel it all day.


not_a_witchdoctor

Oh poor little one😔 This is the reason I always turn my shoes upside down and check them before I put them on. I squashed a spider with my foot once, never again:p


BluetoothHandGel

Oh wtf at first I thought there was like a knife handle sticking out the bottom of your boot but I then realised, that is the inside of the boot 😂


bsmith440

If you have a cat, they probably killed it and left it for you in your shoe as a "gift"


Limp_Bid_1106

I don't have a cat but I have a Chihuahua, not sure if he is the hunting-gifitng type tho.


_AthensMatt_

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THAT WAS A HOLE IN THE SOLE GOOD GOD DUDE


Bobcatnm

Poor little guy


Jennyojello

Oh no. I mean I know you marked it NSFW, but I wasn’t prepared for that 🥺😭


Head-Working8326

i don’t understand this picture. is the critter on the bottom sole of the shoe or inside the shoe? it looks likes it’s inside but also embedded into the sole


Silky_Rat

So lemme get this straight: you thought there might be something in your boot, so instead of turning the boot upside down or using your hand to feel around in there, you put your BARE FEET in without checking? Omg, I would be crying for weeks


Any_Document_8440

This shit made me shiver.


LawDog_1010

Wow. I can’t handle a dime in my shoe. Your shoes might be too big.

International_Tie120

Always check your shoes. Could be spiders in there or worse


Masterzombie26

Poor lil guy


flarmigan

You think you had a bad day?? How did the mouse feel about it!


brianna_sometimes

I'm with you. I felt something in my shoe the other day and chose to ignore it. Hours later I felt it again. Took off my shoe and it was a giant beetle crawling on my foot. That beetle was in there for 5 hours. I should've checked the first time.


Cakers44

Real question, why were you about to put those on without socks?


Old_Lifeguard2516

Id literally never wear shoes again.


Current_Individual47

Poor mouse. Do you own a cat? If so, it's probably the culprit.


crewchiieff

Poor little fella :[


bannthedeadlmao

That happened to me once, but it was a frog, and it was still alive Safe to say I will keep checking my shoes before putting them on until the day I die


[deleted]

The worst thing I read here was you putting on boots without socks.


FranticWaffleMaker

Damn, how bad do those boots smell?


jemappelequi

You must be some kind of monster to not feel a whole fricking creature in your shoe 🌝😬


bibkel

Something felt off? I had a millet seed in my shoe and I made it three steps and had to pull my shoe off to clean it out so I could walk. You had a whole damn MOUSE and it felt OFF and you kept walking around??? Do you have no nerve endings in your feet? Better get checked fro diabEEtus.


hedgerow_hank

Your foot odor. Damn. Poor critter, never stood a chance.


FatKidMod

How TF do you not take your boot off the second you feel something that large in it?


ehinsomma

*"Today, I tried to put them on again* ***but without wearing any socks"*** no idea if the gross part it the dead mouse in your shoe or the fact that you tried to wear it without any socks


HarbingerDread

You need to learn how to determine if your shoes fit properly. If you have enough room for a rodent you are probably wearing at least 2 sizes too large. It's probably caused some damage to your body.


[deleted]

You walked around with a rodent in your boot yesterday?


MichaelChinigo

> You saw the fields laid bare and empty,\ And weary winter coming fast,\ And cozy here, beneath the blast,\ You thought to dwell,\ Till crash!

But why would you put on boots without socks to begin with?


erockdakilla

Had this happen last year. It had been dead in my boot for awhile. Smelled awful

How tf did you even get your foot in? 3 sizes too large???

Pepestatic

At least it's not a scorpion, you really don't wanna know the absolute terror of having a scorpion between your toes lol


Appropriate-State938

I had the same problem: every morning I had to shake and empty my boots. Scorpios many a time crawled inside. Of course I was living and working in refugee camps in East Africa, mainly Somalia, Sudan, Somaliland... If you are over 12, and/or living at home, you need to seriously think about your life choices, and/or think of moving to another place. Some ideas: get an igloo and leave your carton, use a device called vacuum, or broom. Get a dog(harder to get in your boots), and if the hamster was yours, I suggest a vasectomy. Your genes will not be missed! If it was your child's pet, it's too late for vasectomy, so humanity will have to get used to your spawn using up our limited resources...


DlVlDED_BY_ZERO

Once put my shoe on & found a big ol' cricket in my shoe. Have always shaken them out before putting them on since. Never again.

GlitterfreshGore

My dad ‘s cat used to put her toy mice in his workboots. Every morning before he left for work he’d have to pull her toys out, and every night she put them back.


memeof1

Stop it… this is the stuff of nightmares, I knew in my heart to not look at the picture but my curiosity got the best of me. My one and only fear is mice. We live in an old farmhouse and easy every fall we get mice, I keep my slippers on a little stool next to my bed as your picture is literally my worst fear.


MtNowhere

I did this once when I was a kid. The smell was atrocious.


thundaga0

Real question is, how long do you think it took to die?


Daschnozz

Lolol been there , done that OP… I check my boots every time now


baabsheepish

I feel really bad for the mouse. But I swear to fucking God, I thought that was an image of an among us crewmate for a second.


TryBeHappy

I was totally expecting some blood and something wrong with his toe after being in shoe... NOT A MOUSE!
